Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha: Entrepreneurship and Self-Improvement Podcast · Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik: When Friendship Is a Business Superpower | Entrepreneurship | E353 · 2 Jun 2025 podcast

And we can make so much meaning out of that. And so if you have a conversation where it's like, listen, I would love for when we connect, it's just really quality and we're able to be really present.

And, you know, I love men so much, but the texture and richness of my life has been so benefited by deep female friendships and relationships. And being an entrepreneur is not easy. You meet up against limiting beliefs and mindset setbacks all of the time. You have fear. You have overwhelm. You have stress. You're putting yourselves out there. You're doing cringe things.

I think that is super, super important because I don't know about you, but anytime I would change within a romantic relationship, my then boyfriend would be like, man, you've changed, you know, would have such a problem with change. And then with friendships, I always felt like, oh gosh, I can't change because then they're going to feel a type of way.

And so to have cheerleaders in your corner or have people that really see you and support you has kept me going 100% of the way.

So I'm just giving people permission to change within their relationships and have actual conversations about it.

I think that rumbling happens for a lot of people where like you are at a job that you've been at for a while. Maybe most likely you're really good at what you do. You get rewarded for that. You are maybe on a path where you have an upward trajectory, but there's something within you that just says, I

I think there's something more and I think I want to pursue something else or, you know, something else does light me up and I would love to see what would happen. And so I think, first of all, you have to get really clear about that. Is there an opportunity to pivot within the actual company that you're in? Because it's maybe just a feeling of what you're doing. Is it no longer aligned?

Yeah.

Is there another position at the company? Yeah. If it's a bit more than that and you actually want to pursue something else, which we both have done many times over, I think it's getting clear about how do I want to feel on a day-to-day basis? What really lights me up?

Asking those questions about the feeling part of it, logistics will come in, but I had to get clear that what was moving me in that direction came from like this place rather than the overanalyzing of everything, if that makes sense.

I think it's really important.

for everybody tuning in, whether they're a man, I actually have a lot of male listeners. So whether they're men, women, if they're thinking about a career change, a career pivot, how should they think about it?

So when I pivoted, for example, from pursuing my acting career to the podcast, I had to make a conscious pivot. I could no longer do both. And I think for me, the question was, how do you want to feel on a day-to-day basis? And I wanted to feel like I was creating. I was creating myself. literally something, but also my future. And with acting, I was waiting to be chosen.

So it made it so clear that that pivot was right for me to completely let go of the acting and pursue the podcast full time and let that go.

Something that you just said really spoke to me, the fact that you were basically saying, I'm in control now. I'm not going to wait to get chosen. And I feel like with entrepreneurship, that is... such an amazing part of entrepreneurship that you get to control your life. I dealt with like a lot of rejection. I was rejected by radio and TV and satellite radio.

What about you, Lindsay?

To be honest, when we first started, I was so insecure about it because I didn't have a corporate background. I came from being my own, I suppose, entrepreneur in my acting life where even though I was waiting to be chosen, I was having to self-motivate every day to go on auditions, to meet agents, meet casting directors. So I had that experience within me as far as entrepreneurship goes.

And then I started my podcast and did great, you know? And so I'd love to hear from you of how did being an entrepreneur change you mentally, spiritually? How did it change you on your journey?

It helped me become more of who I came here to be, to be honest. It gave me the tools, it gave me the friction, it gave me the feedback to allow me to be who I came here to be. And that was someone that's using her voice, someone that's standing in her power, someone that knows what she wants, someone that's clear on where she's going, and someone that has to meet every growth edge.

But when it came to the business side, I just felt so insecure. But I think what I realized was that as an entrepreneur, you're meant to really double down on your gifts, you know, and you will learn everything else along the way. You know, I've learned so much about business and just doing it and making mistakes and learning from Krista.
